CONFERENCEWorld-Information City Conference
The conference segment of World Information City brings together panels, discursive and research based presentations and conversations on “Information” and the “City” as societal and political realities, with a particular emphasis on their interrelationships. We hope by doing so we are able to speak not only to the broad themes of information, society, politics and history but also to the concrete realities of “World Information Cities” such as Bangalore.Conference Day 1Conference Day 2
